Golf Betting Lines

06/04/2010 - West Des Moines, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tommy Armour III fired an eight-under- par 63 on Friday to take the first-round lead of the Principal Charity Classic.

That score matched the course record at Glen Oaks Country Club, which was originally set by John Bland in 2002.

Armour isn't afraid to go low. He owns the PGA Tour 72-hole record with a 254 en route to victory at the 2003 Texas Open.

In this, his rookie season on the Champions Tour, Armour has also shown he can shoot low numbers. He fired a final-round 61 to finish second to Fred Couples at the ACE Group Classic.

That was Armour's first runner-up on the elder circuit. He added another at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic.

Dan Forsman, who won the Regions Charity Classic, and Russ Cochran are knotted in second place at five-under 66.

Bernhard Langer, Nick Price, Mike Reid, Olin Browne, Gene Jones, Ronnie Black, Mike Goodes, Lonnie Nielsen, Mark O'Meara and Kirk Hanefeld are tied for fourth at four-under 67.

Couples, the money leader on the Champions Tour, shot a one-under 70 and is tied for 27th place.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
